“We can apply specialist travel features from Vibe’s booking technology to the corporate space, such as the ability to compare airline fare costs across multiple days.
“It’s features like this that will ensure our customers have access to the best price, while also reducing travel expenditure and, ultimately, travelling smarter.”
Capita Travel & Events customers will benefit from features including profile management API, distance-based searching, searching corporate office locations for hotels, multiple passenger searching, CO2 carbon footprint reporting, last seat availability, savings calculation and reporting, seat maps, branded fares and hotel chain searching.
“We are proud to be working with Capita Travel & Events, an organisation that shares the same ethos of improving the way business travellers buy and book travel,” Martin Eade, group e-commerce director at Vibe.
“Our partnership will continue to provide organisations with a solution that will enhance the user experience, provide the best travel deals and reduce costs.
